03 / INTERACTION

An encounter in VR

Visitors explore the exhibition with a headset and handheld controllers. Gentle vibration near the fireflies adds tactile feedback to the encounter. The project combines 3D modeling and Unreal Engine with AI-assisted animation, with headset testing used to refine interaction and visual comfort.
